Healthcare buildings cover a wide range of archetypes from sprawling hospitals to smaller community buildings. In every case, there are opportunities to embrace the latest developments in LED lighting as a way improve the lit environment, improve the well-being of stakeholders, whilst cutting energy consumption, costs and carbon footprint.

 

The challenges however, in addition to the constraints of achieving lighting controls without extensive wiring, are more extensive. From the challenging wireless environment associated with life critical systems through to the flexibility of the needs across a broad range of functional spaces from in-patient rooms, to waiting areas through to circulation routes.

 

Building on our experiences and delivering solutions in the healthcare sector, we have overcome all of these challenges, demonstrating compliance in gaining NHS wireless policy approvals, whilst proving true flexibility in lighting controls as well as emergency lighting testing and monitoring at scale. 

 

And there are more significant benefits the Healthcare sector can realise from the deployment of a secure, resilient Mymesh network. By leveraging real-time data and the knowledge of lighting locations, the ability to track assets becomes a possibility – whether high value medical equipment or key personnel, asset tracking is seen as a valuable service to many Healthcare clients – improving insights, increasing efficiencies, reducing costs.

 

But the possibilities extend even further, we are already working towards location based services where every connected light becomes a beacon to a smart device, enabling patients and visitors the ability to way find through hospitals more effectively, proving real-time, contextual information, enhancing customer experience and making healthcare buildings more engaging.

 

The possibilities are endless in delivering smarter healthcare buildings.
